Leaders Upset With Planning Commission Wednesday, March 5, 2008 - Some Government Officials Don't Like New Policies That Affect How Dane County Municipalities Can Grow. The Capital Area Regional Planning Commission voted 8-2 last week to adopt new guidelines for how it will approve sewer line extensions, which cities and villages rely on for expansion. But some leaders are concerned the commission acted without a broader consensus. Three commission members who said they would have voted against the proposal were absent. And though only eight votes were needed to pass the new policies, Dane County Cities and Villages Association spokesman Forbes McIntosh wondered if the commission might have followed the staff recommendation to postpone the vote had the full commission participated in the debate. "I was hoping we could work toward a compromise... Ken Notes: “Some” may be an understatement here. This is bad policy that circumvents good planning and compromise... Read on... The newly formed Capital Area Regional Planning Commission (CARPC) is considering a broad new policy designed to control growth for the next 20+ years, while preserving farmland and natural areas. The plan would limit where communities could extend sewer and water with the intent of restricting new development to higher density neighborhoods and projects adjacent to existing service areas. The commission is correct in assuming that there is plenty of approved land already on the map. What they cannot control are the variables and people between policy and reality. Let me introduce you.... Ken Notes: I know ... I know... I wrote this article. And I wrote it 30 days ago before the vote. I wish I had been even more vocal -- and don't get me wrong I am not suggesting development for development sake lets -- just do a little planning in the best interest of all the parties at the table. Let me Know what you think. Oh yea – sorry about the picture...
Trek Hospitality, a subsidiary of Trek Bicycle Corp. in Waterloo, bought the downtown landmark Mansion Hill Inn on Monday for an undisclosed price. "We are very committed to restoring it and doing the work to bring the building up to the highest standards and to preserve the original design," said Mark Joslyn, who is responsible for Trek Hospitality. Joslyn said the bicycle company brings a lot of people to the area: customers, suppliers and employees from all over the world. Owning the inn will give them a permanent place to house their visitors. Traditionally, Mansion Hill Inn guests stay for a weekend... New Brewpub Law Benefits Brewers, Beer Enthusiasts Saturday, March 1, 2008 - The December 2007 issue of Capital Region Business Journal featured an article regarding the much maligned, often misunderstood brewpub legislation recently passed by the Wisconsin Legislature. Unfortunately, the article ignores the merits of the bill and the growth opportunity it provides for Wisconsin brewpubs and instead reports inaccurate information based on insincere rhetoric spread by opponents of the bill. The Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company welcomes the opportunity to set the record straight. When the third Great Dane location opened in December 2006 at Hilldale Shopping Center , our customers noticed something was missing - Great Dane beer... Ken Notes: I noticed... Economic Plan Faces Tough Questions Tuesday, March 4, 2008 - Several members of the Madison City Council on Monday questioned the basic premise of consultant Tom Ticknor's strategic economic development plan. Prepared for the city's Economic Development Commission, the draft focuses on ways the city can stimulate "quality job creation." Ticknor said he equated the phrase to mean "basic sector jobs" that serve markets beyond Madison, bringing in money from outside the region. Council members from both sides of the political spectrum repeatedly challenged Ticknor's report during the more than 2 1/2 -hour special committee meeting Monday. Ald. Judy Compton wanted the plan to encourage... Wednesday, March 5, 2008 - Panel Recommends Madison Build 'first-class Urban Park'. A skate park and "Great Lawn" for festivals should be the first pieces of Madison's $30 million Central Park, a special city subcommittee said. The city should also move right away to relocate rail lines that bisect the 17-acre park site in the East Washington rail corridor, it said. A second phase would involve acquisition of private property along Brearly Street. The city, however, should drop plans for ice skating and a graffiti art wall at the park and consider adding a labyrinth walk, an additional children's play area, adult fitness stations and perhaps food carts or concessions, the subcommittee said. The city should pursue a grand vision for the park, but it will be hard, said William Barker, chairman of the city's Central Park Design and Implementation Task Force... Ken Notes: I love the park plan - but we may also need to rethink how we work with event vendors. We lost the BluesFest, One of the Brat Weekends, and others due to expenses added by the city without consideration given to the overall economic impact to the greater community. Hey, express yourself, you're in Wisconsin! LAKE GENEVA -- Stem cell researcher Jamie Thomson, conservationist Aldo Leopold, flamboyant Liberace. Visionary architecture, below-zero tailgating, cheese curds that squeak. House on the Rock, Taliesin, Harley. Wisconsin is a place where you can feel free to be yourself and express yourself. This is the conclusion of a five-month branding project undertaken by the state Department of Tourism and announced Tuesday night...

http://www.cbre.com/USA/US/WI/Madison/pprofile/brianwolff Brutal weather keeps housing market weak 3/05/2008 - Dane County's housing market was as bad as the weather in January, according to figures released today by the Realtors Association of South Central Wisconsin. And those two things probably were connected, said John Deininger, RASCW executive director. "Who in the heck goes out and buys a house when everything is buried...
More retail, maybe, but no clear message - VERONA - If members of the city's Plan Commission wanted a good turnout for the special retail community forum Monday night at the Verona Senior Center, they got it. If they were searching for a clear directive from the citizenry on whether to approve more big boxes, well, not so much... Brown Shoe profit beats predictions Brown Shoe Co. Inc., parent of Madison-based Famous Footwear, today reported weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter results amid a decline in consumer spending, but its stock rose as it beat analysts' expectations. For its fiscal fourth quarter ended Feb. 2, the company reported net income of $14 million, or 33 cents per share, compared with $13.6 million, or 31 cents per share, in the year-ago period. Excluding... Ken Notes: Remember that Brown Shoes is considering relocating it's office facilities, so if you knew Ron when he lived here give him a call at let him know we miss him. EDITORIAL Bioenergy Ready To Boom, And Midwest Along With It Wednesday, March 5, 2008 - If scientists are successful, America could someday derive as much as one-half of its transportation fuels from biomass such as crop wastes, leaves and wood. With the rural Midwest sitting on half of the nation's 1 billion tons of surplus, low-cost biomass on its croplands, pasturelands and forests, could we be the future energy producer that powers America's cars and trucks? And what would the Midwest rural economy look like if more than $1 billion a day, now spent on imported petroleum, starts flowing here? Those were the questions posed by the Midwest Ag Energy Network Summit... Famous Dave Now Cooking Up Waterpark Chain Sunday, March 2, 2008 - The lazy river isn't filled with barbecue sauce, but Famous Dave Anderson is using his experiences in the restaurant business to launch what he hopes will become a chain of waterpark resorts. His first venture is Keylime Cove, a waterpark resort in Gurnee, Ill., situated between Milwaukee and Chicago, near the Great America amusement park and Gurnee Mills Mall. Anderson, who built his first Famous Dave's in the northern Wisconsin resort community of Hayward, is hoping to tap into northeastern Illinois' massive population base and the busy Interstate corridor... Ken Notes: Madison needs a big hotel. We have tourists and business people who come to the area. We have State Street, Convention sites, the UW, Trek, Epic, Am Fam, We are building a new park. We love Ribs. Call him! Send him this email. Ask him to speak at your next event. Monona Drive's delightful Crema Cafe worth the trip 3/06/2008 - I've become a regular at Crema Caf on Monona Drive. It's got everything I want in a coffee shop: excellent coffee, wonderful smoothies, fun coffee drinks, a super friendly staff and big windows in front that let in lots of light. To top it off, Crema Caf has an exceptional menu of sandwiches, breakfast items and baked goods. What keeps me going back is its adorable wooden children's kitchen and kids' table, tucked away in a corner. It also has a few children's books and a kids' menu. Another plus is that it carries Organic... Luxuries redux Specialty shop returns to State Street roots 3/05/2008 - Little Luxuries opened Saturday in a new spot on State Street. But it's like old home for boutique owner Janice Durand. "I feel like I'm coming back to my roots," said the Madison entrepreneur. Little Luxuries now resides at 230 State St., the former home of Durand's first specialty shop, The Puzzlebox. Durand launched The Puzzlebox at that storefront in 1979, a retail concept... Monday, March 3, 2008 - The Tribeca Village development has taken the first of many big steps it will have to take before construction can begin. The Middleton Common Council voted 6-1 at its Feb. 19 meeting to approve Tribeca's General Implementation Plan, or GIP, which is the development's preliminary zoning plan, city administrator Mike Davis said. "We have a number of steps yet but the first major step has been cleared by Tribeca in the city's review process," Davis said. Developer Terrence Wall still will have to gain approval for the project's traffic implementation analysis and specific implementation plan for zoning. Also expected are a TIF (tax incremental financing) development request and review of that request... Classic Sequoya Midvale Condo Project Moves Forward Thursday, February 28, 2008 - As early as this summer, Westmorland residents could be welcoming some new neighbors. Sequoya Commons, a mixed-use development on Midvale and Tokay boulevards at the site of the former Midvale Plaza, this week opened its model condominium. The unit offers two bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths and 987 square feet of indoor living space with a 292 square foot terrace. Asking price: $249,900. While other condominium projects have been put on hold and abandoned - among them The Heights near Hilldale, Union Corners and Capitol West downtown - Sequoya Commons remains under construction with plans for Phase II now being drawn... Labrioche Bakery Finds New Home Thursday, February 28, 2008 - It's difficult for David Yankovich to talk about moving his business. "It's like home to us," the LaBrioche Bakery proprietor said about Midvale Plaza, where he has baked and served authentic European pastries for more than a decade. But in leaving the location currently being reconstructed as Sequoya Plaza, a mixed-use residential and commercial space, Yankovich is returning to his roots. Yankovich, once a part owner of Madison's famed Ovens of Brittany restaurants, has leased 4,600 square feet at University Station, the former location of the defunct Magic Mill Natural Foods. By June, LaBrioche (www.labriochebakery.com) will become a restaurant and bakery at 2862 University Ave. with 80 seats and a menu focusing on organic ingredients and fresh-baked European pastries... Ken Notes: I am actually drooling. Can we get one in Verona???? Some Good News Despite Drop In Housing Market Saturday, March 1, 2008 - Depending on your perspective, last year either was the worst for existing home and condominium sales in south-central Wisconsin over the past five years or the fifth-best year on record. Dane County's 6,693 sales in 2007 were down 6.3 percent from the 7,144 sales the year before. That decrease came after a 10.5 percent decline from 2005 to 2006. But last year's sales also were the fifth highest on record, said John Deininger, executive vice president of the Realtors Association of South Central Wisconsin...
Mayor Dave's lowered expectations - Thursday 02/28/2008 - With the Democrats in control of Congress and Wisconsin's own Rep. Dave Obey serving as chair of the House Appropriations Committee, it's natural to assume that the city of Madison will have an easy time getting federal funding for its upcoming projects. But Mayor Dave Cieslewicz headed off this week to Washington, D.C., with a downsized list of requests. "With the current negative attitude toward earmarks, we need to be more careful about what we ask for," says Cieslewicz. "We need to downscale our expectations... Ken Notes: I applaud the mayor for prioritizing. One of the real failures of earmarks is that often low priority projects get funded because of some magic formula they just happen to fit. The real solution is to put more into community development block grants and let the locals decide how to spend it. Construction Spending Plummets Monday, March 3, 2008 - Construction spending took its biggest nosedive in 14 years and manufacturing activity contracted, fresh trouble signs for a struggling economy. The Commerce Department reported today that construction spending plunged by 1.7 percent in January. Builders slashed spending on residential projects, but the weakness spread beyond that ailing sector. There were cutbacks in spending on, among other things, hotels and motels, highways and various projects by state and local governments. Another report showed fallout from housing and credit problems cutting deeper into manufacturing. The Institute for Supply Management 's manufacturing index clocked in at 48.3 in February. That was the weakest reading in nearly five years. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. Anything below that shows contraction... Office Printer Spells Boon For Parts Dealer Parts Now Grown To 270 Employees If your company's computer printer breaks down, you need it fixed – now. That's the premise behind Parts Now, a Middleton wholesaler that supplies new and rebuilt laser printer parts to companies that fix the machines. Founded in 1989 by David Reinke in a one-car garage in Monona, Parts Now has grown into a $97.8 million-a-year company with 270 employees and offices in Florida, California and Canada. With a new chief executive, a new line of business and nearly new headquarters at 3150 Pleasant View Road, Parts Now is flying almost as high as the planes that take off from the Middleton Airport, across the street. "I think there's enormous potential for growth," said CEO Bruce Hagan. Contrary to predictions in years past that computers would lead to a paperless society, the office printer is becoming increasingly important, Hagan said. Often, businesses don't just have one or two printers positioned at strategic locations for groups of employees to share; instead, "everybody has one on their desk," ... Ken Notes: A paperless society is a useful as a paperless toilet... Need a Speaker Ken Harwood is available to speak to your group on a variety of Economic Development topics.

Friday, February 29, 2008 - Wisconsin towns have the authority to suspend residential development while they update their land use plans, an appeals court ruled Thursday. The ruling has significance because state law requires all municipalities to develop comprehensive growth plans by 2010. In the meantime, many are considering suspensions on things such as subdivisions to avoid a rush of development before the stricter rules are in place. Real estate interests say such plans stunt economic development and are unfair. The Wisconsin Realtors Association and the Wisconsin Builders Association filed suit after the town of West Point in Columbia County adopted an ordinance imposing a moratorium on development in 2005... Ken Notes: Have I mentioned the value of Planning vs. Policy... Is anybody listening...

Just 35 of the 162 units have been sold and the owner of the complex, Chicago-based Terrapin Properties, has defaulted on a $14 million loan for the property, according to the report. Other prominent development projects in Wisconsin have collapsed recently, due to major financing problems: In January, Johnson Bank filed an $8.7 million foreclosure against Bristol Meadows...

Volume 1 issue 8 Development News for 02.21.08 - 02.28.08 Draft Plan Set For City Development Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - The time has come for city of Madison officials and the public to begin tweaking the economic development plan that Tom Ticknor has spent the winter putting together. Ticknor, a Chicago-based consultant who has been working for the city's Economic Development Commission since September, will walk the EDC and interested citizens through the 50-page draft plan at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the Evjue Boardroom of the United Way of Dane County, 2059 Atwood Ave. His "3-5 Year Strategic Economic Development Implementation Plan" replaces one written in 1983. And, as the draft plan points out, much has changed in the past 25 years. The private sector is a much more important part of the local economy...
Tribeca receives zoning approval 2/21/2008 - The Tribeca Village development, sans a Wal-Mart, took a major step forward Tuesday when the Middleton Common Council voted to approve the project's General Implementation Plan (GIP). Developer Terrence Wall, president of T. Wall Properties, announced one week before the meeting that Wal-Mart "simply isn't interested in coming to Middleton." Many citizens had criticized the company - a perceived candidate for a 188,000 square foot retailer at Tribeca - for everything from iniquitous treatment of employees to a tendency to compete directly with locally owned businesses. All but one council member, president Howard Teal, voted for...

http://www.cbre.com/USA/US/WI/Madison/pprofile/brianwolff Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - Kenton Peters has pushed the design envelope in the city of Madison, from the blue Federal Courthouse building downtown to the corrugated aluminum "Marina" condominiums overlooking Lake Monona. The architect's plan, however, for a unique five-building, 66-unit apartment complex along County M on the city's far west side has hit a significant roadblock. On a 6-2 vote Monday night, the Madison Plan Commission rejected a plan from Peters for the "Neighborhoods of Quarry Ridge." Peters has proposed a creative reuse of a sloping, wooded 3.9-acre parcel that abuts the Holy Name Seminary property... Ken Notes: M does need attention but this seems a very interesting project on a difficult site... State Bar and Grill is for sale The State Bar and Grill is a well established multi-level bar and restaurant. Popular with the college crowd along with it being a favorite with locals.

Far East Side To Get Large Park Saturday, February 23, 2008 - After years of planning, Madison's booming Far East Side is getting a park like Elver Park. The city has completed a draft master plan for long-awaited Door Creek Park, 108 acres of open space, wetlands, hills and woods between Interstate 39-90, Cottage Grove Road and the Sprecher East neighborhood. The site is nestled amid major housing and commercial development, including the sweeping Reston Heights, Grandview Commons, Door Creek and Meadowlands projects. The park, envisioned in the 1990s as part of a regional open space corridor, will have athletic fields, playgrounds, picnic areas and shelters with restrooms, basketball and tennis courts, shore fishing, winter ice skating and ski trails... WARF: Patent and Trademark Office upholds key stem cell patent 2/28/2008 - MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) has been notified of the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s decision to uphold the claims of a key stem cell patent held by the non-profit foundation. Carl Gulbrandsen, managing director of WARF, said, “We’re extremely pleased with this decision. It affirms what WARF has believed all along, that Dr. Thomson’s breakthrough discoveries are patentable inventions.” ... It's Official: Depp 'crime Spree' Will Be Here Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - It may have been the worst-kept secret in Wisconsin film-making history. But now it's official: Johnny Depp is coming to Wisconsin. Gov. Jim Doyle's office confirmed Tuesday that Depp will be in the state to star as bank robber John Dillinger in "Public Enemies." The news that Depp was coming has been around for months as filmmakers scouted locations, held casting calls for extras and sought vintage automobiles. But official word of the film coming to Wisconsin had to wait until after NBC Universal signed an agreement with the state on tax credits last Wednesday... Ken Notes: And I thought Depp was an actor... of course he did take a load of cash from the state so maybe “crime spree” is appropriate... I wonder if they will leave any brick and mortar behind... Two-by-two - Madison's Modern-day Noah Peoples His Ark Saturday, February 23, 2008 - Since we've been having weather of Biblical proportions, it seems to me that a Biblical response is called for. I am therefore building a Snow Ark. Let winter winds blow another 40 days and 40 nights! We'll all be safe and warm and cozy inside my giant wooden boat on skis, until a dove returns with a sprig of spring lilac. Ahoy! Some already question my decisive action - Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, for example. "I don't think you alone can just decide what/who goes on the ark," he says... Ken Notes: I'll come as the reality just outside the border... Funny Story... New Children's Museum benefits families, Square The Madison Children's Museum's relocation and expansion is progressing. The new facility at 100 N. Hamilton St. will increase existing space from 8,000 to 41,570 square feet and open to the public in 2010. But this major renovation means much more to Downtown than extra space for exhibits... Kennedy Manor: A Madison original Walk up Wisconsin Avenue toward the Kennedy Manor Apartments on a summer day, and you're likely to find Fred Mohs — wearing carefully creased jeans — trimming the hedges. Yes, that Fred Mohs — the lawyer, former UW Regent, real estate developer, iconic downtown supporter, and board member of MGE, the Madison Symphony and Downtown Madison Inc.

House Of Hope Home For Men In Recovery Honors Founders' Son Monday, February 25, 2008 - A pleasant house on Gorham Street is offering hope and help to young men with alcohol or drug addiction problems. That house is the result of Tom and Cathy Meyer's devotion to their deceased son and their wish to make one of his ideas become reality. It's also the result of many donations of time, furnishings and renovation by a caring community. The Meyers' 18-year-old son Aaron was a recovering drug abuser who tragically died in a car crash in 2005, when he was free of drugs and on a path toward success. Before he died, Aaron told his parents... Ken Notes: This is a great project and a great story... City To Get Say On Cda Budget - Tougher Motel Rules Also Ok'd Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - The Madison City Council seemed to surprise even itself Tuesday when it took decisive actions to exert more control over individuals and organizations that provide housing to some of the city's poorest residents. Ald. Brenda Konkel's shock was evident when she realized that the city was going to force its Community Development Authority to create a budget subject to council review and approval. "So I am going to get my way," she exclaimed. Konkel has been pushing for months for fiscal accountability for... Madison Home Prices Are Up, Report Says Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - A government report Tuesday said U.S. home prices posted their first annual decline in 16 years.

In Madison, home prices were up 0.76 percent from the third quarter of 2007 and up 2.15 percent over the previous year. Home prices in the city have risen 33.23 percent over the past five years, according to the report. The OFHEO index is calculated using mortgages... Beltline's central corridor is newest commerce center FEBRUARY - When people think about thriving business developments in the Madison area, Downtown and the West Side come to mind, and rightfully so. While Downtown has served as the business hub for Dane County over the decades, the West Side has grown exponentially... Foreclosures grow closer to home 2/26/2008 - The spike in foreclosure filings hit here later than much of the rest of the country, but local foreclosures now are growing at a much faster rate, real estate tracking company RealtyTrac reported today. Dane County had 127 foreclosure filings in January, 45.9 percent more than the 87 in December, 122.8 percent more than the 57 last January, and 746.6 percent more than the 15 in January 2006. Wisconsin had 2,102 foreclosure filings in January... Birkie, weather return smiles to Hayward area 2/26/2008 - HAYWARD -- There were smiles all around at the finish of the 35th annual American Birkebeiner cross country ski marathon -- and not just from skiers basking in radiant sunshine that made 30 degrees feel like a heat wave. Mike Ivey, “I'm no Olympian but I did manage to finish in 2:50 to log my 20th Birkie after bailing out last year because of the short race format.” Ken Notes: I know not ED exactly but Mike Ivey finished in 2:50 and I was impressed.

Beside computer labs, electronic media, fax and copy services, new program spaces allow for tutoring... Ken Notes: Make that four... EDITORIAL Smart Planning Needed To Protect Our Water Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - Gary Werner of Madison has spent most of his life fighting for our environmental future, everything from preserving the terminus of Wisconsin's last glacier with the Ice Age Trail to the urgent need to protect the quality of our water supply. He's convinced - as we all need to be - that if we don't plan our growth carefully and work hard to save our water resources, we're headed down the same road that Waukesha County took - willy-nilly paving over its valuable farmland with housing developments and shopping centers and drawing down its water supply to the point... Ken Notes: We must remember though there is a huge difference between planning and policy... Doyle Keeps Pressing Economic Plan Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - Gov. Jim Doyle remained optimistic Tuesday that an economic development proposal that was one of his top priorities this year can pass despite a $540 million budget shortfall. Doyle, speaking to about 200 executives at "Business Day in Madison," argued that in the face of a national recession, Wisconsin must move forward to strengthen its business sector. "We can't crawl under a rock," he said. "We can't get into bed and hope the tough times pass."... Justices Hear Walgreens' Tax Complaint Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - The tax assessments on two Walgreens drugstores on East Washington Avenue are excessive, and the city of Madison violates the state constitution in the method it uses to determine Walgreens' property value, an attorney for Walgreens told the Wisconsin Supreme Court Tuesday. Walgreens chooses prime locations for its drugstores and then negotiates a 20-year lease with a developer, which includes the cost to acquire the property and build the store to the company's specifications, said attorney Robert Hill. Walgreens ends up paying above-market rents to get what it wants because it rolls all development costs into the lease, Hill said. Since 2003, Hill said, the city of Madison has wrongly based assessments of the properties at 2909 and 3710 E. Washington Ave. on those leases...
Charter's quarterly loss grows Charter Communications Inc. today reported that its fourth-quarter loss widened as impairment and debt-related charges offset higher revenues that stemmed mainly from strong gains in phone and Internet subscribers. St. Louis-based Charter, the cable provider for virtually all of the Madison area, reported a fourth-quarter loss of $468 million, or $1.27 per share, on revenues of $1.55 billion, versus a 2006 fourth-quarter loss of $396 million, or $1.08 per share, on revenues of $1.4 billion.

Points Elsewhere Historic Evansville department store gets major makeover WED., FEB 27, 2008 - EVANSVILLE — A building that once was a community hub is getting another life after a $2.1 million renovation project. A century ago, the Eager Economy Building, built in 1904, housed Wisconsin's second largest department store outside Milwaukee.
